Cannot uninstall Visual studio 2008 from Vista Home Premium

I had Visual studio 2008 Team system installed on my machine and tried to uninstall that . When I did the uninstall, am getting a wierd error message "A problem has been encountered while loading the set up components .Cancelling set up". I googled this
and found some posts asking me to uninstall all the hot fixes associated with VS 2008 TS .I did that but still am getting the same message. Can anyone help me?
